I’m writing this early because tomorrow I will be nowhere near a computer. The wedding mayhem has begun – kicking off with rehearsals this evening (in which I found out I am making a speech, fun!), and then an early start tomorrow for mani pedis with the bride, bridesmaids and bride’s mom before we head off to the wedding venue to relax before the wedding tomorrow. I am beyond excited, and can’t wait for the weekend to begin! A few … Read More »

You know a hen party was good when it takes a few days to fully recover. The bride-to-be’s hen party was this past Saturday, and I have to say that it was quite possibly the best hen party I’ve ever been to, and maybe even the best party I’m been to, period. Games, a blow up doll called Hugh, forfeits, shooters, some in-house entertainment (hehe) and plenty of laughter, fun and mayhem (and that was just the pre-party!)… you just … Read More »

Even though my whole week feels like a whole series of Fridays, I’m still oh so glad to have the weekend roll around – I have so much in store, can’t wait! My nails are done in my favourite Essie shade ‘Eternal Optimist’, my hair is going to have some long-overdue ghd love and I’m going to wear a dress tonight… despite the wind! A few more Happy Friday thoughts… * Yesterday, my awesome mom took me out to the … Read More »

The worst part about finishing a brilliant series is that feeling you get afterwards. It is not unlike the feeling you get when you remember that you have no wine or chocolate in the house and you really, really feel like wine or chocolate. Only it’s worse, because while you can easily find wine or chocolate to fill the void, it’s not always as easy filling a void left by a supremely addictive series. Having just finished Dexter 5 and … Read More »

So, friends – Christmas and NYE have come and gone, and reality is once again settling in. A whole new year is finally here, and I’m not sure about you guys, but I for one am ELATED to welcome in 2011. Despite not having a proper break, Christmas and New Years were both such good weekends that it feels as though I’ve had a nice long rest. Also, I have all sorts of new things to obsess over now. Awesomesauce! … Read More »

There’s a scene in episode 12 of Gossip Girl 3 (‘The Debarted’) where Chuck finally faces up to his father’s death when he is at the hospital to see Serena. If you’re a Gossip Girl fan, you’ll remember the one I mean – watch the clip over here. You might want to have tissues at hand though, because it’s a heart-wrenching one. Maybe it’s the way it’s filmed, maybe it’s Chuck dropping his defences, maybe it’s the Blair and Chuck … Read More »

I was very excited to be able to pick up my custom necklace from Collect Jewellery on Friday, which as you can see is an otter necklace! Julie was really lovely, and even gave me a choice of designs after I sent her my initial idea. As it turns out, her suggestion worked even better than my original one had, and the result is a gorgeous otter heart necklace that I’m quite sure will have super zen boosting properties. Collect … Read More »

I can’t quite believe it’s Thursday already – this week has really flown past! All in all, it’s been a rather fantabulous one, despite a few minor mehs. Lately I’ve been finding that the mehs don’t get to me like they used to, and rather than feeling overwhelmed by everything, it feels as though things are finally starting to level out again. Which of course is great – really want to end this shitty year on a calm note! Some … Read More »

Yes, I know it’s only Tuesday. But already so far, this week is shaping up to be a good one. After having my sister here with me the week before last, the past week was a little on the quiet and glum side but a good weekend later, and things are coming along nicely. It’s when not-so-fun things happen and you STILL feel chipper that you know things are going well – sore back, dry needling and allergies aside, it’s … Read More »
